haha! I am waiting for you to start posting some good old fashioned 'vintage' cakes, Tim. I know with your piping skills they would be gorgeous.
BEAUTIFUL Linda... and YUMMY!!! Thank you for sharing this recipe with us... I think this fits in with "vintage"... at least in my book!
I have a whole family that love chocolate! I have to cater to the 'zoo animals' in my family! lol
Tee hee - I don't have that problem for sure! Chocolate is heaven and I adore cappuccino. Brownie points to you for making something you don't really like that much.
Thank you Katy. If you are a chocolate lover and you also like coffee, this is the cake for you. It has so many different chocolates in it it isn't funny! It's got sweet German chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, powdered cocoa, the chocolate melts used for candy, and then the cappuccino coffee which has a rich chocolate flavor as well. It gives me a headache just talking about it. Chocolate and me don't get along so hot.
omg - I really want to eat this!
Another little tip I learned from this book, is when you are dividing out the sections on the top, you can use a thread or unflavored dental floss and hold it taut and gently go down onto the center of the cake, then turn it and divide it into 4ths (or 3rds) and keep using the thread or floss to divide out the sections so that you have a line to follow while piping.
Anne, that tip is just a very large star tip and I started in the center of the cake and made circles as I was piping, so they end up looking similar to a cornucopia horn. You start small and increase the circles as you get closer to the edge of the cake. Then you can fill in the hole it leaves with a star of another colored icing or a cherry.
Thank you Anne and June. I'm about chocolated out. I'm not a big fan of chocolate anyway, but I had to try a taste of each icing and the batter too but now I've had my fill of chocolate. Ugh!
